The festival’s history

The L’Europe autour de l’Europe film festival takes place every year in Paris. For a month, the festival presents films of Greater Europe (47 European countries, members of the Council of Europe). About 200 films (feature films and short films, documentaries, animation and experimental films) are screened in 20 theatres, foreign cultural centres and other exceptional venues, where the viewers can discover old and contemporary European film masterpieces.

The l’Entrepôt theatre is the main screening venue where other events also take place, such as concerts, round tables, book presentations, conferences, master classes as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.

Since 2012, the festival presents a selection of 9 European films, unreleased in France, for the Prix sauvage competition. The screenings are followed by discussions with the directors, film critics and specialists.
